Hey Carter, so how about those brandless replacement TKL covers you mentioned being available to purchase?
Any other Aussies want to join in to save on shipping? I'm not sure what the shipping rate to Australia is for a keyboard, but I suspect it might be painfully high for one person!
It's not painfully expensive as you might think. I know for a fact that shipping from Aus to US is more than shipping from US to Aus. It's about $30 by USPS to ship a TKL keyboard to Aus. I've proxied tons of stuff to many countries.
Weird when I looked this week on USPS it was 50 USD for a 4lb. package. Regardless, I can weigh the board when I get it, and figure out if it will fit in a flat rate box as well. I just wanted to help people who want this board!
Cheers,
first class mail international carries a 4 lb weight limit. You can get the weight of a QFR down pretty low, especially if you make a new, smaller box for it (Like I did once). $30 is about right to mail to AUS, but you'll need a different box than what CM ships theirs in. They have excellent, but heavy boxes.
So your 4-lb box would have to go by Priority mail international, which is why it's more.
The cheapest, ofcourse, is to wrap it in bubblewrap, then again in brown postal paper, but it might not protect the original packaging as well.
But it should be pretty reasonable to get the weight down to 3.5 or even 3 lbs.

I would be willing to proxy some few to AUS, but I usually take a few more days.

They have been ordered, should be in within the next 2 weeks. Will update as soon as they arrive.
Excellent, I will want two at least. All I need now are case bottoms to put custom keyboards into
